Lord God Investigator

The reason why the Amn Grand Theater construction bill was not passed is that there are not very outstanding theater groups in Amn. Even if a large theater is built at a huge cost, it will be just an empty frame without matching plays to be performed, which is a waste of taxpayers' money.

The Sigil Theater Troupe came to Amn before and built a small theater at the Five Flagons Inn in Ascaltra City. The Sea Sparrow had not been kidnapped at that time, and the plays performed by the troupe were remarkable.

The application to build the Ascaltra Grand Theater was once again put on the agenda. Most of the nobles have expressed support for the proposal. It is about to be passed and the construction of the Grand Theater is imminent.

However, the incident of Haerdali being kidnapped by a wizard happened again. The male lead's stand-in Biff in the Sigil Theater Company was really unable to hold up the wall. The overall performance level of the Theater Company was greatly lowered, and the nobles who originally supported the construction of the Grand Theater also switched their positions. The construction of the Grand Theater was once again put on hold.

Now, the Bredero Troupe is on the scene, but there is no theater to provide them with a performance venue. This makes the noble ladies present in Ascaltra City very dissatisfied and targets the city hall.

"Mayor Bailana! The city has been in need of a grand theater for a long time. Everyone has proposed it many times. Why does the city hall keep pushing and procrastinating?"

"Yes, now is good. Where should we go if we want to enjoy an excellent stage play?"

"Inefficiency, corpses eating nothing! You are responsible for this, Ms. Bailana!"

Mayor Bailana is also feeling embarrassed. She is also a loyal fan of "Titanic" and wants to watch that fantastic show again. She hopes that more citizens can enjoy high-quality entertainment.

But she refused to take the blame for the failure of the Grand Theater to be built. These aristocrats who were accustomed to adapting to the changing circumstances were the main reason for dragging down the efficiency of the city hall.

They were the ones who voted to veto the bill because there were no outstanding theater troupes. They were the ones who supported the bill when the Sigil troupe arrived. They were the ones who vetoed the bill again after the quality of the Sigil troupe's performances declined.

Faced with the unreasonable accusations from everyone, Ms. Bailana could only swallow her anger. As a public official, she is almost used to taking the blame for such unreasonable things. This is also part of the mayor's responsibilities.

Luo Feng came to her rescue: "Please don't blame the female mayor. I believe that our art troupe will soon be able to find a performance venue with the help of the city hall led by Ms. Bailana and present more exciting performances to everyone." repertoire.”

The team will have to hang out in the city of Ascatra for a long time. Of course, Luo Feng needs to establish a good relationship with the city hall officials. Unfortunately, the six-member council is anonymous and he has no idea who the members of the council are. Otherwise, Luo Feng would Feng had already come to visit him to increase his favorability, and his subsequent series of plans were inseparable from the official support of Amn.

In addition to rescuing Mayor Bailana, he also happily paid the art transaction tax in Ascatra City. According to the tithe rate, he sent someone to send 20,000 gold coins to the tax officer of the city hall.

His behavior of paying taxes in accordance with the law greatly won the favor of Ms. Bailana. The female mayor ignored the criticism of others and the blank looks of many noble ladies, and held Luo Feng's hand and chatted for a long time.

After paying taxes, he earned 180,000 gold coins from the auction of Io's mechanical body. Luo Feng abided by the contract and paid the final payment of 18,000 gold coins to the art contractor Quartalis.

Quartalis was grateful and admired Luo Feng's business talent. He hoped to continue to cooperate with Luo Feng and auction other works of art in his store in the same way.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Quartalis, this cooperation has been very pleasant, but I'm afraid it will be the last time we work together."

Luo Feng said regretfully: "From now on, I will only sell art itself. After all, I am an artist, not a businessman. If it weren't for the greedy Githyanki astral pirates we encountered while traveling across dimensions, who plundered all our property , only the living sculpture 'Io, looking at his lover from afar, the immortal man' remains, and our troupe will not participate in any commercial auctions."

Hearing what Luo Feng said, Quatalis was both disappointed and happy.

He was disappointed that he could no longer cooperate with Luo Feng to defraud the nobles of their money, but he was glad that Luo Feng would no longer be involved in the art trade. If there were competitors like Luo Feng in Amn, Quartalis thought he would go bankrupt. It's a matter of time.

After settlement, the final profit was 162,000 gold coins, which were placed in a dimensional bag. This dimensional bag was a generous gift from Dame Hathaway, who was in great spirits after finding the love of her life.

When merchants in Faerûn carry huge amounts of cash, they will mostly use "gem bags" or "dimensional bags." The "dimensional bag" is worth about 2,000 gold coins. Luo Feng wanted to get one before, but unfortunately he didn't have any money on hand. Quartalis' deposit There is only one thousand gold coins, and the expenses of organizing the auction are still needed, so there is no way to spend it.

Luo Feng's team sent away the noble ladies who were lingering and unwilling to leave, dragged their tired bodies back to the luxurious suite on the second floor of Wujiuhu Hotel, and came to the conference room.

When the team members sat down, Luo Feng first took out 10,000 gold coins from the dimensional bag and pushed the pile of gold coins in front of Kara.

"Mr. Kara, this is the share you deserve. In the future, five percent of the box office revenue of each drama will belong to you."

The golden hills in front of him dazzled Kara's eyes, and he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. He grabbed a handful of gold coins and let them slip from his fingers, making a crisp sound as they fell on the table and the floor.

In the end, all the gold coins were gone and his hands were empty. He shook his head and said, "Boss, I don't need so much money. Besides, this money is from the auction, not the box office revenue. As long as you let me continue to follow you. Just serve me by your side, you are a very good boss, and my friends in the troupe are also very kind to me. I eat well and sleep well, and I am satisfied with these."

Luo Feng shook his head solemnly and said: "No, Mr. Kara, the rules are the rules. Every member of the troupe has the right to share. You don't have to feel uneasy about taking the money. Taking the money means that the contract of cooperation between us has been established." , you must also fulfill your corresponding obligations. If you don’t take the money, I won’t be able to fully trust you!”

After hearing what he said, Kara was stunned for a while, then nodded, and took the pile of gold coins in front of him into his arms. He buried his head in the pile of gold coins, suppressing his voice and sobbing. He didn't know whether he was crying with joy or with sadness. born.

"Team members."

After explaining the matter about Kara, Luo Feng smiled and said to the others: "Our team successfully completed the mission with our first cooperation. You all did a good job!"

Tang Xiaotian worked hard to puff up his little chest and said happily: "The captain still leads well, I just tried my best. Ahem, can you sing okay?"

Ai Ou, who was held in Xiaotian's arms, said: "This time the soundtrack and dubbing have consumed a lot of soul energy. Captain, please recharge my batteries in time."

Zhang Daniu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "They still contributed more, I just helped move the things."

Klein had changed back into men's clothing. He looked exhausted both physically and mentally. He whispered, "I just hope that I won't be asked to dress up as Clecia on the next mission..."

Luo Feng firmly denied him: "That's not possible. In the future, our team will have to deal with nobles. You should be lucky that the only women who need to negotiate this time are female nobles. Next time, you may send Klecia to the homes of male nobles. Let’s do ‘communication’.”

He said the word "communication" very strongly. Tears welled up in Klein's eyes when he heard this, and he looked like he was about to cry.
